@weaverb: "The pattern of this troll seems to be -
~ attack new poster as scathingly as possible, belittling them and their 
approach
~ immediately withdraw, allowing cohorts to engage in ensuing skirmishes
~ become postively active on other threads, as a 'toadying' ploy
~ observe it all from a safe distance, gloating at the disruption caused
~ when the dust has settled, start at the beginning and repeat the cycle
He may be a social and emotional cripple, but when it comes to manipulation,

Do I have patience with the pig ignorant, the idlers who do not wish 
to undertake the work of learning? No. I never did and I never will. 
Do I accept the fudge that newbies have to start somewhere? No. I 
never did and I never will. If people are serious about genealogy they 
can find newbie guides and books very easily, and they can read and 
learn. If they are not prepared to do searches and reading that simple 
then they are not prepared to do genealogy. They gives them two 
choices. They can bugger of and learn the basics, then come back. Or 
they can bugger off and keep going, because they are a waste of space 
and time here.
The same approach is valid for all subjects, not just genealogy. And 
my goodness won't the whingers  and whiners be the first to complain 
if some tradesman or professional serving them is pig ignorant, 
incompetent, and a waste of space.
As for Bert Weaver, with him I damned if in his opinion I don't help 
and I'm damned in his opinion if I do help. It is pointless dealing 
with such an illogical idiot.

Old Age is no joke
as Simone de Beauvoir pointed out
"It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. 
Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: 
in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does 
away with time. "

If you do not like a particular way that a person asks a question - 
IGNORE IT... then bugger off yourself as you do not speak for the rest 
of us in here who may be more than willing to help, even if you're not 
- or can't.

I find it interesting that the perfect Don Moody posted this just a 
couple of days after his pig ignorant (his term; pigs are among the most 
intelligent animals) post about Google and Google Toolbar. After that 
little episode, why would anyone put any stock in anything he wrote?

Then ignore them and don't waste time replying to them.
Then what is this newsgroup for? To discuss your illustrious career in 
science?
As are you. You need to go and look up the word "empathy". Then go and 
look up the word "narcissist". You will see that the two do not go hand 
in hand.
And how many Corgi gas men officials do their boiler maintenance on the 
internet? Apples and carrots.
But you never help. You just criticise and moan."

    @avontrent: "Don is really just a sad person that does not understand this world that we 
live in.
I have spent the last seven years studying genealogy (I prefer to call it 
Family History - or "Grave Digging" as my 85 year old father in law calls 
it.) .... and yes I am sure that my level of knowledge isn't as vast as the 
mighty"Dons"
To digress - what I am a master at, is trumpet playing and music. In that 
arena, I am equal to Don in knowledge. I can tell you all that I would never 
ever presume to be as pompous as Don. Knowledge is to be shared, not stored. 
If help can be given - I love to give it.
To tell anyone less knowledgable than oneself "to bugger off and go read a 
book" - well that is just stupid.
I believe that Don has many problems - apart from his age.

Best check your medication, Moody - you're beginning to hallucinate. Nowhere 
have I commented on your "help". In fact, if you *did* help people (rather 
than insulting and belittling them), this disruption wouldn't be occurring 
now, would it?
Nice try you slimy creep.

I agree with you on this one (mostly - apart from the bit about Moody's post 
being generally interesting).  By responding to insults with further insults 
you are just descending to the same level.
